While I detest that most of our legislators in the state are Republican, I do get a good laugh when they start fighting over who is the most conservative. I don’t think any of them are, just Cuckoo. Read this email sent out defending State Legislator Julie Frye-Lactation;
Dear Mary Jane,
There’s something strange in the water out in Pierre.
President Pro Tempore, Senator Lee Schoenbeck thinks he’s the King of South Dakota.
Senator Schoenbeck thinks he can unilaterally decide who represents the people of South Dakota.
Schoenbeck, a notorious RINO, is acting like the King of South Dakota and illegally and unconstitutionally suspended a sitting state senator without due process.
His outrageous power trip is disenfranchising and silencing the elected representative of tens of thousands of South Dakotans.
You see, Schoenbeck unilaterally decided to punish South Dakota citizens by suspending Senator Julie Frye-Mueller before an investigation had even been organized, over a private conversation between Mueller and a legislative services staffer regarding childhood vaccinations and other motherhood issues.
Should a politician like Schoenbeck have the power to silence another Senator over a personal conversation?
Schoenbeck, working with Democrats and Establishment Republicans, forced through Mueller’s unconstitutional suspension, overriding the ruling of the chair and dismissing out-of-hand any constitutional concerns.
Schoenbeck needs to be reminded that he IS NOT the king maker of South Dakota.
State Senators work for the people who elected them!If this makes your blood boil as much as it does mine, I hope you’ll help me turn up the heat on “Little King Lee” Schoenbeck.
Demand he respects the Constitution and the right of ALL South Dakotans to representation in the State Senate.
Unless South Dakotans like you fight back, Schoenbeck and his liberal cronies in Pierre are going to KEEP ignoring the Constitution.
If this challenge to our Republic goes unanswered, Schoenbeck will continue to block conservative bills and control the State Senate like a petty tyrant.
I hope you’ll join me in saying “Enough is enough,” to Little King Lee.

Remind him that the President Pro Tempore of the South Dakota Senate does not have the authority to remove a Senator simply based on his opinions of a legislator’s private conversation.For Liberty,

Young Americans for LibertyP.S. President Pro Tempore Lee Schoenbeck is acting like he’s the King of South Dakota. He thinks he has the POWER to remove duly elected Senators based solely on his opinion.
Schoenbeck, a notorious RINO, has illegally and unconstitutionally suspended a sitting state senator without due process. His outrageous power trip is disenfranchising and silencing the elected representative of tens of thousands of South Dakotans.
Yeah there is something strange in the water alright, it is most likely vodka. While I do agree Ms. Frye-Lactation should be punished for having an inappropriate conversation it certainly doesn’t rise to suspension. As reporter Austin Goss recently pointed out on Matters of the State (2:50);
You have people in that chamber, as recently as last year, who have DUIs . . . you have others in that chamber who call each other pond scum and monkeys. So I guess if the reason to throw her off the floor is decorum, I am just kind of confused . . .
I am not confused, while the above email is chocked full of smoke and mirrors there is one clear thing going on here, Julie pissed off the wrong governor and it was time to eliminate her.
I love watching how many of these male legislators strut around with their legislative embroidered shirts when they come home and slap themselves on the back with feeling superior. Completely oblivious they are legislators of one big stinky and messy manure pit. Many would would be soundly rejected in more competitive states and districts.
As Goss points out without saying the word; Hypocrites!
The Republicans in Pierre remind me of the royal family. But instead of worrying about a ‘Spare’, I wish they would just spare us all.
swing low sweet chariots–creed bratton
Did not believe it possible to see a bigger $hit show than the production McCarthy put on a couple of weeks ago to become speaker. Nothing the Republican Party does anymore is surprising.
This weekend it’s our legislative cracker barrel. The chamber places a too short of a limit on constituents but these self important legislators ramble on with congratulating each other and pushing the SDGQP brand. What a bunch of chumps while giving credit to the senior Alpha Chump in the delegation. South Dakota was never this bad! Past solid policy and constituent focused legislators some being trailblazers in their time for the public good must be rolling in their graves seeing the self serving idiots in Pierre.
